Bando Hidesomi

Bando Hidesomi has been teaching in the greater Los Angeles area for over 20 years. She started her training under Madame Bando Matsuhiro, at the age of 3. In 1985, she also started training under Madame Bando Hideko, daughter of Grand Master Bando Mitsugoro IX (9th). She trained under the care of Headmaster Bando Mitsugoro IX for four years while attending Keio University in Tokyo, Japan. 

She is presently teaching out of the Gardena Valley JCI, Pasadena JCI, and the Mai no Kai studio in Torrance. She is also part of the after school program at El Marino Elementary School for the past 20 years. Through Nohon Buyo, Bando Hidesomi wishes to express her feelings of appreciation and respect for all cultures, and hopes her passion for Nihon Buyo will bring love, joy, peace, and hope to everyone, creating a bridge of unity between all cultures.
